Sobre mimMy daughter is in Marching Band and this is the group photo of the Squad Leaders and Directors after they won best in every category for 2A Bands. Major excitement! They also got best 2A band last week, so are on a roll. Three more competitions on October 17, 24, and 31.

One of my biggest pleasures in life is opening a new book. I'm married, and have a 16-year-old daughter. I live in the sticks on 8 acres with 2 horses, 5 cats, a pet rat, a tank full of fish, and a gecko named Jeremy.

I work as a Sr Analyst for a manufacturing company and volunteer as Treasurer for my daughter's high school's Band Boosters.

It's not a day if I haven't had a chance to read. I love getting up early when the house is quiet with just me and the kitties and read until husband and daughter wake up. I am always looking for new authors and areas of interest. I tend more to fiction than non-fiction but still probably read more non-fiction than most.

I'm from El-Lay (well, the whole journey was Inglewood, Hawthorne, Diamond Bar, El-Lay itself, Redondo Beach, brief journey to CT, Glendale, AND Tujunga!) but moved to North Carolina 18 years ago to marry my best friend. Living in North Carolina is wonderful.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaExcept for 3 books that I keep in LT to keep the Early Reviewer Gods happy, every book in my library is somewhere on a shelf in my house. I don't use LT for wishlists, books I read but don't own, library books, etc.

So. What I own is eclectic. Shabby, brand new. Big, little. Straight, gay. Kid books, grown up books. Fiction, nonfiction, reference, old family Bibles, self-published books of poetry by friends of the family, and my grandmother's records book.

My collection is a combination of what I love to read and books I've inherited from family members. Some books I look at and say "Where did YOU come from?" Maybe they just migrate in.

I'm fortunate to have a husband who knows how important books are to me. The Library is 2 walls of floor to ceiling books. There are shelves upstairs in the parlour and shelves in the sunroom. Being surrounded by books is very important to me. I just love looking at them in addition to reading them.

Karen - I received the book "The Merry Month of May" on Thursday. Unfortunately it is not the one I wanted. Thanks anyway for trying to help me. I appreciate it. I will see that someone else gets the book and will look into Booksmooch after Christmas. If I ever find it I will let you know - who knows, you might like to read it yourself.

Hey Karen- any word on The Merry Month of May that was being sent to you through Bookmooch? I haven't tried Bookmooch out yet. Maybe after the first of the year. My niece and I do Children's Personalized Music CD's and the season for shows is best from September through December. We just have one more show this year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Karenmarie,

Yes, "great minds" indeed - well, I wish, anyway!

Looking at your LT profile I see your daughter plays in a band. My sons both played enthusiastically in bands during high school, although here in England that kind of music tends to be organised by a separate local youth music "service" rather than individual schools. They are both now in their early twenties and still keen amateur musicians - such a brilliant occupation, I think, and such a wonderful combination of mental discipline, group responsibility and good, plain FUN!! I don't play anything, but I sing in a (large) amateur choir which gives me my performing 'fix'.

We have horses in common, too, although I have yet to add my horse books to LT - waiting for the CueCat to arrive. If you'd like to see pictures of my horsy activity, go to www.joanna-oneill.com and follow the link. I guess your daughter rides with you?

All the best,

Joanna

Karen:
Good to hear from you.
I'm reading "A Fine Balance," by Rohinton Mistry as part of one challenge in exchange for "Dandelion Wine," being read.

I asked if anyone would like to do a non-fiction challenge and am now reading "A History of Reading," by Alberto Manguel in exchange for "The Art of Learning," by Josh Waitzkin being read.

I got the first two Lord Peter's for our trip to South Carolina and my husband liked the first so much, that he didn't want to wait for the trip back to start the second. I said they weren't long enough to keep going the whole trip, and he said "we'll just play it again." High praise from someone who doesn't like books.

Thanks for stoppoing by.

Hi Karen- Yes, it never hurts to ask. I know you have read "People of the Book" and that is our next group read and then the 2nd Follett, so it'll a few months before we tackle anything else. Stay in touch!

Many thanks! I am anxiously waiting.

Where do I go to find out about Bookmooch?

publicado por rphalliburton às 7:34 pm (EST) em Oct 20, 2009

Hi Karen- I saw your comment on Charles profile page, about [World Without End]. If you can wait, we are having a Group Read of it Jan 15th. Think about it. I'm reading the latest Krakauer book and it's been very good. Hope you are having a nice weekend!

Karen: I just read your personal comments about your library and your family. I have 20 feet of 8 foot bookcases that are double stacked with books, plus books everywhere in the bedroom. I recently "inherited" about 500 books and have been reading every minute possible.

I have received 7 books from Early Reviewers and 2 from Good Reads.

I trade books with my daughter, granddaughter, and cousin. We like romance, mystery, quilting and sewing books, and a small amount of non-fiction.

I have about 100 Nora Roberts novels (mostly paperback)that I haven't read and don't intend to until I run out of anything else. I would give them to anyone who wants them but I don't know if I could pay the postage. Any ideas?

Thanks for letting me chat.....

Karen:

I don't know if the book you found is the one I want but I am willing to take a chance. What do I do to get it? I'm new at this and don't have the slightest idea. This is the firt time I have ventured into this section of Library Thing. I have loaned out books that I want to keep three times now and have not gotten them back. Maybe I have learned my lesson. The Merry Month of May was heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time.

Thanks a million. Let me know what to do and I'll do it.

World Without End is definately a good read.

Hi Karen:

I'll be doing a challenge with bonniebooks and a non-fiction challenge with AnnieMod.

Just read an amazing book: Douglass' Women by Jewell Parker Rhodes. It's a novel about Frederick Douglass and his wife and his mistress. It focuses on the women. A compelling read.

How've you been?

publicado por CharlesBoyd às 8:24 pm (EST) em Oct 15, 2009

Hi Karen- It was nice to hear from you and thanks for stopping by my challenge! Please drop by anytime. And no, I have not got to "The Sparrow" yet. It is at the top of my tbr but keeps getting bumped. I hope to get to it soon. Later friend!

Hi Karen- How are you? We have not chatted in a long time. What happened, did I dismiss a book you loved? Ha Ha! Thanks to LT I've been reading like crazy, which of course is a great thing. I finished "The Likeness" by Tana French and I just started "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers. Have you read "People of the Book"? We are having a Group Read on it, starting Nov 1st. Let me know and stop by my 50 Book Challenge some time and see what I'm up to. I hope all is well, with you and the family! Stay in touch!
